His Royal Majesty--King Russ


Russ has an unfailing internal alarm clock--8:30 am on the nose he is up and jumps off the bed. And then his agenda becomes the family agenda for at least the next hour. He has needs and his staff must fulfill them or there is *&^% to pay.


First he wants out. And trust me one of us had best get up and let him out or he'll bark until your eardrums burst or worse...


Then he wants back on the bed to frap a bit with Music and Shaker. Then off the bed again and he wants out again. The second time out Music usually goes too. When he bangs on the door, you had best let him in immediately or he'll wake the dead in 3 counties.


Next stop is the bedroom door as he wants to "check" on the cats. Failure to open the door will result in ear splitting howling which gets Shaker Baby going too. Music usually crawls under the covers in an attempt to avoid losing her hearing.


Most mornings, he permits me to start the coffee before making his (and the others) breakfast but not always.


Once all of his morning needs are met then he dismisses his staff to go about their merry business.
